16.13Nested timeout problem
Architecture:
Experience API
↓ timeout 5 sec
Process API
↓ timeout 10 sec
System API
↓ Salesforce timeout 30 sec
This is backwards.
The top caller may abandon the request while downstream Mule components continue doing work.
A better design respects decreasing timeout budgets as you move downstream.
